Increasing foreign /hard currency increases a countries currency value, decreasing foreign/hard currency reduces a countries currency value, sellng hard currency (decreasing foreign reserves buy selling it) is what decreases a countries currency value, causing inflation. As in any countries delay of passing budgets, it causes fear among all types investors/public and private, public is commerical, private is citizens.

Is not budget based on need and yes inflation can be seen in these numbers. However the need of a country to rebuild itself after a long war will also be reflected. If they are having to cover their own needs because of our pull out the dollars go up. Is this not a demonstration of a sovereign nation accepting resonsibility for what needs to be done. A country as rich in oil, natural gas, and gold can manipulate the numbers to fit their want and not just the need. Let them pump and do buisness on their own and watch the value of the currency go up and any inflation will go nonexistant.
